Conn. Practice Book § 11-18

(a) Oral argument is at the discretion of the

judicial authority except as to motions to dismiss,

motions to strike, motions for summary judgment,

motions for judgment of foreclosure, and motions

for judgment on the report of an attorney trial referee and/or hearing on any objections thereto.

For those motions, oral argument shall be a matter

of right, provided:

(1) the motion has been marked ready in

accordance with the procedure that appears on

the short calendar on which the motion appears,

or

(2) a nonmoving party files and serves on all

other parties pursuant to Sections 10-12 through

10-17, with proof of service endorsed thereon, a

written notice stating the party’s intention to argue

the motion or present testimony. Such a notice

shall be filed on or before the third day before the

date of the short calendar date and shall contain

(A) the name of the party filing the motion and

(B) the date of the short calendar on which the

matter appears.

(b) As to any motion for which oral argument

is of right and as to any other motion for which the

judicial authority grants or, in its own discretion,

requires argument or testimony, the date for argument or testimony shall be set by the judge to

whom the motion is assigned.

(c) If a case has been designated for argument

as of right or by the judicial authority but a date

for argument or testimony has not been set within

thirty days of the date the motion was marked

ready, the movant may reclaim the motion.

(d) Failure to appear and present argument on

the date set by the judicial authority shall constitute a waiver of the right to argue unless the judicial authority orders otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding the above, all motions to

withdraw appearance, except those under Section 3-9 (b), and any other motions designated

by the chief court administrator in the civil short

calendar standing order shall be set down for oral

argument.

(f) For those motions for which oral argument

is not a matter of right, oral argument may be

requested in accordance with the procedure that

is printed on the short calendar on which the

motion appears.
